History
The club was formally established at a meeting of founder members in October 1892. Just before this, Mr G. H. Pentland, who resided at Blackhall, Drogheda and a Mr Gilroy, a retired banker of Scottish origin had laid out a few holes south of the mouth of the river around the Mornington end of the Bettystown burrows. This did not meet with the approval of many of the locals and the two gentlemen decided to take a boat across the river to explore the possibilities at Baltray.
The first course was laid out by a Scottish professional and in 1914 was reconstructed by Mr N Halligan and Mr Cecil Barcroft. In 1938 the course was redesigned by renowned golf course architect Mr Tom Simpson and the course has changed little in the intervening years.
